+ | Three couple longways mixer, A Minor, 2/2 | ||
+ | Maggot Pie, Marjorie Heffer and William Porter (EFDSS), 1932; reprinted 1979. | ||

+ | 3-4 All turn single. | ||
+ | 5-6 Same four left hands across halfway. | ||
+ | 7-8 All turn single. | ||

+ | B2 1-4 Dancers on the left diagonal (1st man and 1st | ||
+ | woman, 3rd man and 3rd woman) set in place, then | ||
+ | cross by right shoulder. | ||
+ | 5-8 1st man, followed by 3rd man, cross above and | ||

+ | |||
+ | NOTES | ||
+ | Al, 2 | ||
+ | ln Maggot Pie, the turns single are noted as being to the right after right hands across, | ||
+ | and to the left after left hands across. We have been doing them the other way! | ||
+ | B1, 2 | ||
+ | There is no facing back in to the set by the pairs that cross on the diagonals. | ||
+ | Simply continue forward into the loop around the standing dancer. | ||
+ | |||
+ | A pleasant and most uncomplicated dance! Middle couple in any round has the extra pleasure | ||
+ | dancing the entire A music, above, and then below. All to a sweet tune. | ||
